Bush blasts absent Manny as Sox visit White House

Manny didn’t take the trip to Washington today, and George Bush took the opportunity to roast him for it.

“Manny Ramirez isn’t here, I guess his grandmother died again,” the president said.

Ouch.

It would have been fine to mention the grill. It would have been fine to mention the car. Hell, even make a joke about how the Red Sox had to leave him behind because his dreadlocks wouldn’t fit in the overhead bin or the seat in front of him. The grandmother thing is just a little below the belt, but I guess that’s just George being George.

El Presidente did take the time to praise Lester, and he commended the front office for keeping the championship team intact.

“It makes a big difference to be hanging out with people who know how to win.”

I guess it probably has been awhile since Bush was around people who knew how to win…

I’ve got your back, Manny.

“Manny Ramirez isn’t here, I guess his grandmother died again,” the president said.

I think this is the quote of the year so far. Hilarious!
